Alius liber bonus "Lingua Latina Per Se Illustrata" est. Partem Unam modo legi, et valde amavi!
If anyone wants to learn Latin and they are reasonably familiar with grammar, get Shelmerdine and just start plowing through it. If less confident on intensive methods, use Wheelock (easily pirated).
Don't try to find shortcuts. Just do chapters over and over until you get it right and things stick. Memorise paradigms. Drill vocab daily (every day go through ALL the vocab lists at the end of chapters, and translate from / to Latin/English from memory, with full principal parts).
Do it at your own pace, do it sloppily, do whatever you want. But if you DO it, you will learn Latin.
>>690035
Also I say to avoid Lingua Latina because it's snake oil (imho), and avoid Cambridge because it doesn't explain shit properly
The key to maintaining motivation in learning Latin is not to stress over doing it right. "Doing it right" = doing it wrong ten times. So fucking what if you mess up and decide to start over? So what if you have to backtrack a few chapters? Just DO it, and enough things will stick that you will learn the language eventually.
But don't use a "holistic" method like Lingua Latina. Do it the hard old-fashioned way.
>>687964
are you autists really learning latin?
I can think of very few things more useless
>>690035
>>690039
I've been studying for several hours a day for two weeks straight. I'm past worrying if I'm learning correctly and now I'm brute forcing it with the available resources. It's fun now and I'm definitely not giving up.
I use the Cambridge Latin thing, I like the tools on its website but it is pretty minimalist with what it teaches. Learning vocab is easy with Cambridge, I can learn 100+ words a day if I feel like grinding.
>>690099
Just remember to drill the principal parts too. Saves trouble in the long run.
If Cambridge works for you, fuck it, go Cambridge. I just know that when I was learning, the only really insurmountable stumbling block was running into conceptual things that weren't explained. I preferred the books that had "let me explain this shit to you, dumbass" charts and stuff.
>>690104
>Just remember to drill the principal parts too.
So for Amo that would be Amo, Amare, Amavi, and Amatus, right?
I notice I was having to basically learn two words for some verbs that had an odd perfect tense. If I learn those four variants when learning a new word, every other conjugation is predictable, right?
I appreciate the advice btw.
>>690131
Pretty much.
You'll get used to the 4 regular conjugations in no time. Then, when learning new verbs, just make a note of its conjugation. If you meet an irregular verb, then write it out in full. Exemplum:
> amo 1
> vestio 4
> do dare dedi datum
>try learning Latin
>have to learn some things about English first
Jesus, what's the difference between the infinitive, participle, gerund, and supine?
This stuff literally hurts trying to figure out.
>>690615
The infinitive is not limited (infinitivus) to a person or persons; in English, the 'to ...' construction, like 'to love'.
The participle is an adjective made from a verb; like verbs, they have tense and aspect (completed or not at the time being described). An English present participle could be 'the loving dog', where 'loving' is acting like an adjective and it was doing the loving at the time that the speaker spoke about the dog. An english past participle could be 'the loved dog', still an adjective but having a past sense or completed sense (i.e. not perhaps now loved).
The gerund is a noun made from a verb; these are either rarely used in English or totally misunderstood. An English gerund could be 'the dog's loving was good', where the 'loving' acts as a noun.
The supine does not exist in English, but is a kind of gerund. It was rarely used in Latin too, its main grammatical use being that you can form various Latin participles easily from it. In Latin the supine was used as a gerund after verbs of moving or sending, or after adjectives in certain constructions, e.g.
> virum mitto amatum
I send the man to love.
You'll get used to them with practice.

How would you translate this:
"Caesar, postquam in Treveros venit, duabus de causis flumen transire constituit, quarum una erat, quod Germani auxilia contra eum Treveris miserant, altera, quod Ambiorix ad Germanos fugere potuit. Quaere paulo supra eum locum, quo iam ante exercitum traduxerat facere pontem instituit."
Despero, quod eam sententiam interpretari non possum.

Something like this (I'm a little out of practice)
"Caesar, after he comes into the Treveri, set up to go across the river for two reasons, of which one was, because the Germani sent help to the Treveri against him, the other, because Ambiorix could flee to the Germani. Hence a little beyond that place, where already before the army he had crossed over, he prepared to make a bridge."
This is from de bello gallico, right? Caesar is a pretty terse writer.
>>690084
Latin is very easy to learn. All you have to do is conjugate and not be retarded, which is why you wouldn't be able to do it.
>>691385
After he came to Treveri, Caesar decided to cross the river for two reasons, one of which was that the Germans had sent relief against him at Treveri, and the other was that Ambiorix could flee to the Germans. So a little past there, he decided to make a bridge where he had brought his army had already crossed.

If you can find PDFs of the ATHENAZE textbooks, they're pretty good learning tools. The books have a LOT of translations, (90% of them written by the authors of the book but theres some based on Herodutus and some New Testement exceprts) which is a surefire way to brush up on your skills. they have a few flaws, namely not officially distinguishing the Fourth declension nouns as separate from Third, but any mongoloid could make the distinguishment on their own.

I've taken 4 years worth of Latin in US high school but I haven't translated Latin in almost 2 two years because I'm a STEM major now. I believe my grammar is still intact for the most part but I barely remember any vocab that wasn't used extensively in De Bello Gallico or the Aeneid. Where should I learn Latin vocab from? I no longer have my high school texts with me.

If you think Latin's bad with that, try something like Tsez.
And I don't just mean pic related.
They have something like 64 different locative cases, and about a million other pointless inflections.
If you ever get discouraged, remember: some Muslim potato farmer out there knows a language 100 times harder and less useful than Latin.

I've never been taught Latin, but I have a question.
How much did Latin evolve over the centuries? Would it be comparable to, say Old English and modern English? If so, what kind of Latin are people generally taught? Early or Late?
>>701193
NEWFAGUS ?
>>701178

>>701994

Latin did indeed evolve a lot over the centuries. For example the middle ages Latin is called middlelatin and far easier than the ancient classical Latin (spoken by Cicero or Caesar), that is usually taught in schools.

I'm learning the non-finite forms and verbal nouns of the first conjugation now. I assume learning the other conjugations will come much quicker and then it will be smooth sailing from there on I hope.
>>708580
yes
>>708580
Yes. Until you meet all the irregular verbs. Felix fortuna, amice.
>>708580
Also, latín verbal system is extremely regular if compared to other languages, like ancient Greek.
For example, perfect tense endings are the same for absolutely all verbs.

I been wanting to make a shirt that says "Make Rome great again"
Obvioulsy Fac Romam Magnam in some order, but I am not sure what would be good for "again", I am feeling Rursus or Iterum, but i am unsure what the proper word order would be.
>>712530
Again: Rursus, iterum, denuo, denique.
Rursus: Original meaning is to go reverse.
Iterum: More neutral meaning, "a second time".
Denuo: Cover the previous meanings.
Latin is very flexible on the word order; for this frase it's like everithing would make sense. But if you want to go stylish, "break" words that usually go together, by putting a third word in the middle (literally, instead of "make Rome-great", "Rome make great".
Su you could say
Roman fac iterum magnam
But as I said, you can put those 4 words in any order you want, and the sentence would still make sense.
>>714740
*denique means lastly, finally
Cur iudaei arsi sunt?
>>712530
You could use 'refacio' as 'remake', instead of using 'again'.
Romam facite magnam!
